Your Special Needs are Understood

Monday, April 12, 2010 by Tyler D
If you're a restaurant owner, you likely know what it's like to deal with difficult credit/debit card terminals (that is, if you've never talked with North American Bancard).  Food service systems differ from those in any other line of business, including retail stores.  You have to include components such as gratuity, combining bar and dining room tabs, as well as the ability to split checks on-the-fly to keep you customers happy.  It can be really risky business if you're not working with the right account processing services.

Fortunately, North American Bancard knows how it goes.  You operate differently than other businesses, so you need a solution that will meet your needs rather than trying to make any old piece of equipment work.  There are a lot of different options available from NAB depending on what exactly you are looking for. 

You can even implement mobile credit card swipers into your system to increase efficiency and allow your servers to run credit cards right at the guest's table This is especially convenient for establishment with very large dining rooms and outdoor patios; it could really be a life-saver during a busy rush.

North American Bancard Hospitality

Saturday, April 10, 2010 by Tyler D
I have found that customer service can either make or break a business.  When I go to a restaurant or store, it's easy to observe what the culture of the particular business is like based upon the demeanor of the employees.  Friendly service often translates into better products, just as the converse is generally true.

North American Bancard does a great job of reflecting the quality of their products through their customer service.  The way that a client feels while talking on the phone with one of our representatives is really important to us.  They should always have a sense of the North American Bancard hospitality that is foster both in and out of our office.

We want to go beyond providing our customers with debit card terminals and the like; they deserve an entire knowledgeable team that's ready to help them out.  NAB also offers some of the lowest credit card processing rates around!

All the Power Without the Wires

Sunday, April 4, 2010 by Tyler D
Wireless technology has really come a long way in the past ten years.  For example, think back to the era of the first cell phones; those thinks were like bricks with buttons on them.  Now cell phones are smaller and include cameras, calendars, applications, and even internet capability.  There is a stark contrast between the old and new technology, and it has made business (and entertainment) more accessible than ever.

The world of wireless technology has also had a huge impact on the payment industry and the development of wireless credit card processing machines.  Devices are now available that will help your business keep moving.  Here's a look at a few different mobile terminals that are available from North American Bancard:
  • Charge Anywhere: This terminal has cutting edge security in addition to a wide coverage area.  Weighing in at less than 9oz, its compact size makes it easy to take this device with you "anywhere"...just like the name indicates.  Oh yeah...and the average transaction speed is a blistering 5-7 seconds!
  • Nurit 3010: This device integrates a fast 12 line per second printer so that you can give your customer a receipt on the spot.  The 3010 also has a 12 hour rechargeable battery so that you can make an entire day's worth of sales without having to replace any batteries.
North American Bancard makes payment processing easy and mobile.  When you use these devices from NAB you are making your business readily available to your customers.  Just log on to our website to fill out an online application and learn more about all of the great products available for your business.
